Fruit, juice, and powdered bitter melon preparations are often prescribed in Asian traditional medicine to lower blood sugar levels. Cell and animal studies suggest bitter melon can lower blood sugar, but the remedy is not well studied in humans. To fill in the knowledge gap, researchers invited people with newly diagnosed, type 2 diabetes to participate in a study comparing the blood sugar lowering effects of bitter melon with those of metformin.
The study authors randomly selected 129 patients to receive bitter melon in three different amounts, or a recommended dose of metformin. Blood levels of fructosamine were measured at the beginning and the end of the four-week study. (Fructoseamine, an indicator of long-term blood sugar control, gives a better picture of how well diabetes is being managed than a single blood sugar reading.) Fasting blood glucose (sugar) levels and oral glucose tolerance-test (OGTT) results were collected as well.
After four weeks of treatment, the researchers found that the average fructosamine blood levels were significantly reduced in the metformin and 2,000 mg bitter melon (the highest amount given) groups; the metformin group experienced the largest fructosamine decrease. Metformin, but not bitter melon, significantly reduced average fasting blood glucose levels and improved OGTT results.
This study suggests that 2,000 mg of bitter melon taken daily may improve blood glucose control in people with newly diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Lower doses do not appear to be effective. However, metformin was the most effective at controlling blood sugar.
If you have diabetes and are considering natural remedies, it may be possible to incorporate bitter melon or other natural medicine into your diabetes care plan, but always talk to your doctor first. Natural products that are used to lower blood sugar may interfere with your other medications, or even cause dangerously low blood sugar levels when used in combination with blood sugar-lowering medications.
And don't forget about the tried and true natural diabetes fighters: regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight loss if you're overweight.

Ag. Dept sets additional enviromental regulations

Illinois Approves Adams County Hog Farm
The Illinois Department of Agriculture has approved a proposed hog confinement in Adams County, after adding additional environmental protections.
Those added protections are due to the fact that the 5,000 hog facility will be built on a geological formation called karst.
In karst, the bedrock contains holes which make it easier for water to infiltrate from the surface, meaning hog-waste could contaminate drinking water.
Water Resource Scientist Stacy James with the Prairie Rivers Network said the added protections, including mandating concrete waste pits are built to a higher standard, don't eliminate the risk.
"I mean it's just well known that concrete cracks, all concrete cracks. So how long will that pit, even if designed according to standards, hold up and be storing the waste completely?" James said.
The Adams County Board in an earlier vote endorsed the construction of the proposed facility.
James added that the Illinois's Geological Survey karst expert, Sam Panno, has recommended that hog confinements not be built on this geological formation.

sperm donor half-sibs, got many? - page 2
News rules may be needed because sperm banks may be selling lots of sperm from "popular donors". I've discussed this in an ethics class and I'm glad it is in the public view now. I was happy to learn... Read More
0Sep 9, '11 by anotheroneThere are men out there with multiple children. 10+ who don't know of some of them without ever having been sperm donors.... plenty of people don't know who his/her father is. I know a number of people who found out later in life that they had multiple half sibilings. sometimes the fathers knew, other times it was a suprise to them as well.
5Sep 12, '11 by sharpeimom Guidei have wondered about my unknown brothers and sisters. they would all be older than i am. my dad who was an attorney/physician, donated his sperm while a student in both programs because students were not allowed to work while med or law students back then, and while my mom worked as a social worker, he felt he should contribute as well.
i didn't know he'd donated sperm until college, when i brought someone i was seriously dating home
for the weekend. my usually unflappable mom's jaw hit the floor! she managed to pull herself together and be a good hostess, but the very first moment we were alone, she asked me if he had been adopted. she said, "didn't you and ___ ever notice how much you look alike?"
my dad was mostly swedish and had that unusual almost colorless white blond hair and his eyes were
an unusual shade of blue that someone once described as "haunting" and ___ had the same hair and eyes. once it was pointed out to me, i realized he could be a cousin or a brother.
that was pre-dna and we eventually drifted apart, but all i can say is: yikes!! -
1Sep 14, '11 by anon456I knew someone online whose child was a donor baby. The child ended up having a horrid genetic skin condition that they felt came from the donor. They were able to track down other children from this donor on-line by posting the donor number and name of the clinic, and found that several other children had this same condition. The parents of these kids were about to file a lawsuit, not to get compensation, but to stop the clinic from using this person's sperm because apparently he was quite a prolific donor. I never knew the outcome of it. It just goes to show how probably in real life this man would have only fathered a few children, and even less if they had stopped because of this condition. Instead he has fathered many many affected children and probably doesn't even know it.cherryames1949 likes this.

A two month string of snow events and frigid cold temperatures has hindered MnDOT's ability to patch many potholes.
MnDOT Spokesman Kent Barnard says when crews are in snow and ice mode, the primary focus is on clearing roads followed by dealing with snow on shoulders and bridges. Barnard says December and January were snowy and cold and that prevented crews from much routine pothole repair.
Barnard says MnDot was in snow and ice mode 27 of 31 days in December and 29 of 31 days in January. He says bitter cold temperature also hindered crews efforts in performing some pothole repair, "We need to get those temps up to 15, 20, to make good patches to last for a while."
According to Barnard, MnDOT will quickly address any pothole that presents a safety hazard, "If we had a pothole that was so horrific that people couldn't drive around it, we would have to close down that lane. We can't risk people getting injured by those potholes."

text: No recent wiki edits to this page. One evening while trying to protect his neighbor from hoodlums Jefferson ends up being pursued by them. After running a couple of blocks he has no where to hide except for a dumpster. After hiding for some time he steps out and admires a shooting star but this no regular shooting. The shooting stars, like all shooting stars, is a meteor and before Jefferson knows it he is struck by the space rock. His injuries are severe he is expected not to live, he suffered a broken spine and severe burns. Luckily he is found and taken to the hospital where he is treated and bandaged. He awakens after days in unconscious and to his and the doctors surprise his spine and burns had completely healed. Eventually he realizes the meteor endowed him with incredible powers and abilities. He and his parents convince him to help the community they then formulate and create his Meteor Man identity (after multiple hilarious identities and/or costumes failed). His home town in Washington D.C along with normal problems it has been corrupted and put in danger by a large gang; The gang is very dangerous and spreading drugs, surprisingly they consist of members ranging from 4th graders to adults they are called the Golden Lords (because their hair is dyed blond) and they are led by Simon Caine. Meteor Man's good deeds consist of getting cats out of trees, helps people cross streets, cleaning up the city and the more heroic tasks like stopping a bank robbery, shuts down drug houses, he even unites the Crips and the Bloods of the area and then he unites them with the police force to help. While doing all these good deeds he has gained the attention of Simon and his gang, he wants to kill him so his boss will "promote" him and this causes the crime to escalate. Micheal, Jefferson's best friend, takes Jefferson's costume while he is asleep and wears it out at the mall to impress women and get interviewed by the news. The gang hears about this and they all begin to converge on the mall but before shooting Micheal, who they think is Meteor Man, Jefferson rushes there and levitates Micheal out of danger. While doing this Simon sees Jefferson using his power and realizes whats going on and orders everyone out. Jefferson must also deal with depleting powers, it seems the meteor's affects are only temporary. After a neighborhood meeting Jefferson and his community are held at gun point as Simon reveals that he knows who Meteor Man is. The gang all open fire but Jefferson catches all the bullets but once everyone leaves he looks at his hand and sees blood. The crime continues to escalate and the gang demands Jefferson to turn himself in but the neighbors suggest he lay low and leave for awhile but he refuses and tries motivating everyone to stand up for themselves and fight against the gang. Later the gang barricades the block and force him to come out or they will shut the houses up. The neighbors hide in their houses as Jefferson gets beaten by Simon. After Jefferson gets a couple hits in on Simon he gets a gun and right before he pulls the trigger a neighbor throws a record at his hand which causes him to drop his gun. One of his little lords quickly grabs the gun and throws it away so Simon orders all his men to shoot him. Moments after taking aim their guns are mysteriously thrown into the air, it turns out to be one of the neighbors who had his own meteorite chunk. While the gang is distracted and unarmed the entire neighbor hood pounces on the gang members but in the ensuing chaos the neighbor drops his meteor fragment. Jefferson and Simon dive for the rock and get powers and have a fight that climaxes during a run way model battle...yea just like it sounds. Eventually Jefferson ties Simon up and absorbs his power but shortly after Simon's bosses show up and they drastically out number the civilians. As they huge crowd of armed gangsters begin to walk up to everyone the combined gangs appear and they out number the gang and scare them out of town. Jefferson thanks the now unified and protective gang.

Credit derivatives traders settling contracts that protected against a default by Residential Capital LLC set a value of 17.625 cents on the dollar for the debt of Ally Financial Inc. (ALLY:US)'s mortgage unit.
The price, the result of a final round of bidding by 12 dealers including JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Deutsche Bank AG, means sellers of the swaps would pay 82.375 cents on the dollar to buyers of protection to settle the contracts, according to data posted on a website of auction administrators Markit Group Ltd. and Intercontinental Exchange Inc.'s Creditex division.
A net demand to buy $29 million of the bonds was matched with orders from the dealers and their clients after an initial market mid-price of 18.625 cents was set in the auction's first round.
Sellers of the contracts, used to hedge against losses or speculate on creditworthiness, pay the buyers face value of the amount being protected, less the value of the underlying debt.
The International Swaps and Derivatives Association's determinations committee had said ResCap's May 14 bankruptcy filing triggered payouts on the swaps.
Banks, hedge funds and other institutional investors had bought or sold a net $1.2 billion of protection against a ResCap default as of June 1, according to the Depository Trust & Clearing Corp., which runs a central repository for the credit swaps market.
The mortgage lender listed $15.7 billion in assets and $15.3 billion in debt in Chapter 11 papers filed in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan.

Jan. 24 (Bloomberg) -- Colombia's peso bonds rose, pushing yields on benchmark bonds to fall to a three-month low, on speculation the central bank will hold off on raising interest rates this month.
The yield on the nation's 9.25 percent bonds due in May 2014 fell two basis points, or 0.02 percentage point, to 6.06 percent, according to the stock exchange. That's the lowest level on a closing basis since Oct. 19. The bond's price rose 0.032 centavo to 106.607 centavos per peso.
"With inflation under control, central bankers will likely place greater emphasis on the external situation," said Omar Escorcia, an analyst at Asesores en Valores SA brokerage in Bogota. "There are no risks that signal the need for a hike" at the Jan. 30 policy meeting, he said.
Policy makers last month left the overnight lending rate unchanged, after raising it in November, saying in a statement accompanying the decision that the balance of risks is "very sensitive" to new data about the local and global economy.
Global stocks fell and the U.S. dollar rose today as a stalemate between European policy makers and Greek bondholders over how to resolve the nation's debt crisis spurred concern the it may fail to make a March 20 bond payment.
The Colombian peso closed little changed at 1,814 per U.S. dollar, from 1,813.80 yesterday. The peso has jumped 6.9 percent in 2012, the best performance among all currencies tracked by Bloomberg.
HSBC Holdings Plc said today it agreed to sell its operations in Costa Rica, El Salvador and Honduras to Colombia's Banco Davivienda SA for $801 million.
Davivienda, the country's third-biggest lender, has the funds to close its acquisition of HSBC assets in Central America, Efrain Forero, the bank's president, told reporters in Bogota. The bank may seek additional financing, though it wouldn't be necessary, Forero said.

Maharashtra is the birthplace of great men like Shivaji, Gopalakrishna Gokhale, Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Tukaram, and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar. Their contribution, sacrifice and spiritual thoughts enriched the State and India in all aspects. It is unfortunate that a Dalit woman should have been beaten and paraded naked in Mulgaon by persons belonging to an upper caste. The incident is a black mark on humanity. All progressive and civilised people should condemn it in one voice.
K. Mallikarjuna Reddy,
The atrocities against Dalits in Maharashtra reminded me of an incident that took place in my friend's village. Some of us were visiting him and we were astonished to see that his house was at the end of the village, deprived of all basic amenities and cut off from other houses. When we asked him why it was so, he said he belonged to the Scheduled Tribes, and his community was supposed to live in a corner of the village. We were shocked to hear this because we had not known until then that such practices existed even in the modern days. The dangerous trend, common in rural India, will only serve to sow the seeds of hatred in the younger generation.
A. Siddiq,

"Sacramento… you may notice a bit of moisture forming on my forehead… falling down my face… I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, 'Morris has lost it.' You may even be thinking, 'Morris is not cool anymore.' But let me fix that shit for you, Sacramento. Just like you take a cool bottle of champagne out of the refrigerator, and you set it on the counter… what does it begin to do? See, it sounds like you all don't know. See, it begins to condensate, Sacramento. Because that's what you do when you're cool from the inside out… So please understand, Morris is not sweatin'. I'm condensatin'. And, hell yes, Morris Day is still cool!" Words from the legendary Morris Day from Morris Day & The Time (now The Original 7ven), headlining the Big Block Party by WorldOne Presents at Thunder Valley Casino Resort Saturday night. Having come on stage after the sun dropped out of view, which hit a high of 100 degrees, it left me wondering if the sweat rolling off everyone in the sold out concert venue was from the heat of the day, or the heat coming off the stage from the outrageous funk band, who followed the incredible line-up of Sheila E., Guy, and Doug E. Fresh.

80s Rewind Music Fest 2014 / Retro Futura Tour (Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey, Howard Jones, The English Beat, Katrina) at Thunder Valley Casino Resort | Lincoln, California | 8/31/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
The show at Thunder Valley Casino Resort's Outdoor Amphitheater Sunday night was continuing on in WorldOne Presents' tradition of their annual "80s Rewind Festival Music Fest", and arrived in Lincoln, California with it's own unique line-up and variation on the newly christened Retro Futura Tour 2014 (formerly Regeneration Tour). With this event, the same co-headliners – Thompson Twins' Tom Bailey and Howard Jones – shared the bill, as did Katrina Leskanich (formerly of Katrina and The Waves. But in place of Midge Ure and China Crisis was the incredible English Beat featuring Dave Wakeling. As usual, the show took on a character all it's own, playing out to a large and enthusiastic crowd. I think the Katrina/English Beat/Howard Jones/Tom Bailey line-up featured artists that all have one thing in common: authentic optimism driving their music. Of course, the modern day '10s are not the classic '80s, and though the music played came from the past, it could also serve as a beacon of hope for the future. And, as with the show at Mountain Winery the night before, there seemed to be quite a reception for Tom Bailey, who stopped touring and performing live as Thompson Twins way back in 1987. It was another exceptional performance by all of the artists, and both shows are certainly on the short list for top concerts of the year for me personally.
Replay America (The Go-Go's, Patty Smyth from Scandal, Martha Davis and The Motels, and Pete Byrne from Naked Eyes) at Thunder Valley Casino Resort | Lincoln, California | 7/19/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Are we not in the desert? Where are we?" A bit of comic relief part way through The Go-Go's set by Gina Schock, who as per tradition emerges from her drum kit at some point in the show to give us a bit of fun. And that is kind of at the heart of The Go-Go's punky/poppy/surfy/beachy New Wave music, so what better a group to headline 2014's newest 80s-centric tour, Replay America. Also on the bill is Patty Smyth from Scandal, Martha Davis from The Motels, and Pete Byrne from Naked Eyes. A real assortment of 80s hitmakers each took to the stage at Thunder Valley Casino Resort on Saturday night to take the crowd back about three decades to a real innovative time in music. Though there was a lot of music to be heard, things proceeded along quite quickly with the first three artists sharing a band (with some changes set to set), and a quick changeover for the aforementioned Go-Go's, who closed out the night with a string of classic songs. Definitely a unique opportunity to catch many favorites in one sitting, and I know I thoroughly enjoyed each artist, only half of whom I'd seen live before (though I was already a fan of all four). Awesome show.
V101′s Summer Jam Concert with Keith Sweat, Tony! Toni! Toné! and Salt-n-Pepa at Thunder Valley | Lincoln, California | 6/14/2014 (Concert Review + Photos)
"Somebody's gonna get pregnant tonight!" Headlining this year's Summer Jam for WorldOne Presents and V101, R&B icon Keith Sweat made it clear that much of his music is meant to accompany more… romantic activities. It was fitting that by the time he took the stage at Thunder Valley's Outdoor Amphitheater Saturday night, the sun was long gone and there was a bright moon serving as backdrop to the evening. The other artists brought more of a high energy show to the stage, with Salt-n-Pepa performing not only their own music but samples from all manner of genre of music, courtesy the founding DJ, Spinderella, while D'wayne and Amar of Tony! Toni! Toné! raced back and forth across the vast stage getting the audience going at the start of the show. The sold out crowd of 4,000 fans in Lincoln, California appeared to be thrilled by the performances of all three artists, with DJ Gino bridging each act with his ongoing DJ set.
Whodini, Kurtis Blow, and Rob Base (V101's Hip Hop Halloween House Party 2013) at Thunder Valley Casino Resort | Lincoln, California | 10/25/2013 (Concert Review)
Last night was all about old school hip hop legends, with Whodini, Kurtis Blow, and Rob Base each taking the stage during V101's Hip Hop Halloween House Party at Pano Hall inside Thunder Valley Casino Resort in Lincoln. Pioneers in what has since become a wildly popular genre of music, it was a celebration of the artists who built the foundation of hip hop, with respect paid to many of their peers who were not part of the concert, by way of mention and covers. It made for an interesting and unpredictable night of music, with legend Kurtis Blow doing his own music, like "The Breaks" (the first gold certified rap song back in 1980) as well as some unexpected works from others that followed many years later, like House of Pain's "Jump Around". Hip Hop has obviously changed tremendously in the past three decades, but those in attendance last night, I think, appreciate that it was probably at its best in those early years, and it is gratifying to have seen these artists do their thing on stage last night in a relatively intimate atmosphere with a great crowd, some of whom also took to the stage throughout the show.
V101's Old School Funk Fest 2013 (The Brothers Johnson, Midnight Star, The Dazz Band, and Sinbad) at Thunder Valley Casino Resort | Lincoln, California | 9/7/2013 (Concert Review)
"You can't be what this is…" Part of comedian Sinbad's introduction of The Brothers Johnson, headliners of V101's Old School Funk Fest 2013. The legendary American Funk and R&B group took to the stage after Midnight Star and The Dazz Band through down the bass-driven hits for a few hours leading up to George "Lightnin' Licks" Johnson and Louis E. "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson rocked Thunder Valley's Outdoor Amphitheater with classics like "Strawberry Letter 23″, "Stomp!", and "I'll Be Good To You", to the thrill of the sold out crowd at the World One Presents production. It was definitely an evening of sublime entertainment with groups that unfortunately don't perform on stage much too often these days, though their old school sound definitely is a reminder of a lot of what is missing in music today in many respects.
The Rewind Festival Featuring Regeneration Tour 2013 (Howard Jones, Erasure's Andy Bell, Berlin with Terri Nunn, Men Without Hats) at Thunder Valley Casino Resort | Lincoln, California | 8/24/2013 (Concert Review)
Readers of The Rock Subculture Journal know that my favorite decade of music is the 80s, so a multi-headliner concert like The Rewind Festival Featuring Regeneration Tour 2013 at Thunder Valley Casino Resort's Outdoor Amphitheater is an event I've been anticipating for months. With a stellar line-up of some of my favorite artists, it was certainly a night to remember. The Regeneration Tour is in the midst of a 9-date tour across the U.S. with a final show in Mexico City, with a varying line-up as it goes along. Music fans lucky enough to attend the show in Lincoln, California last night got to see a show which included Men Without Hats, Berlin with Terri Nunn, Erasure's Andy Bell, and Howard Jones, as well as local talent Larisa Bryski kicking things off as part of the World One Presents and 93.7 Jack FM promotion. All of the artists were in top form, the sound system was excellent, and things moved along briskly, offering a non-stop show of hits from the 80s and beyond. It was a stellar show, and definitely one to catch if you are able to with the remaining dates on the tour.
Crystal Gayle at Thunder Valley Resort & Casino | Lincoln, California | 2/22/2013 (Concert Review)
Last night Thunder Valley Resort & Casino played host to one of a short run of shows by music legend Crystal Gayle. The award-winning singer, best known for her 1977 hit, "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue"., put on an amazing show of her own songs as well as tributes to the works of others, with her own signature style. It was incredible to have an opportunity to enjoy the show put on by her along with her sister Peggy Sue and the five-piece band led by Jay Patten.
Styx at Thunder Valley Resort and Casino | Lincoln, California | 9/6/2012 (Concert Review)
Last night I had an opportunity to see Styx perform at Thunder Valley Resort and Casino in Lincoln, California. Really quite the performance… it's rare these days when a band comes onto the stage, sans opening act, and just let's it rip, and has the audience from the first riff. Given that the band, born in Chicago, has been around since the 70s, they obviously have a stellar catalog of work to choose from, and the set tonight spanned everything from their more anthemic rock to popular hits on the ballad side, showing a real versatility in their musical style as well as an unusually democratic (small "d") sharing of their various talents, and (quite literally) the spotlight. It is obvious that these guys love to perform, feed off their audience, and seem to play together well, and really appear to enjoy their music and playing it live – together – to an enthusiastic crowd. And given some back and forth, and my interview with Lawrence Gowan leading up to the show, and, well, just looking around within the amphitheater (which at least appeared to be completely sold out), their audience today very much spans many, many generations, with old and new fans alike just soaking in some genuine rock and roll. Styx really delivered, and it was an awesome performance, from beginning to end. [Read more…]
Berlin featuring Terri Nunn at Thunder Valley | Lincoln, California | 4/13/12 (Concert Review)
Tonight was the first Berlin concert of the year, in Lincoln, CA in the foothills of the greater Sacramento area. The legendary band that was prominent on the radio and MTV in the 80s played through many hits, one less played song (as voted on by Facebook users) and two new songs never played before a live audience prior to tonight. It was a fantastic show with a lot of energy, and Terri Nunn put on an amazing performance, both vocally and in terms of sheer audience interaction. The band killed it.
Daryl Hall and John Oates at Thunder Valley | Lincon, California | 9/11/11 (Concert Review)
On September 11th, I went to one of Hall and Oates shows, which was incredible, as I've come to expect from seeing them many times over the years (including at Mountain Winery last year). With such a deep catalog of hits, any fan of 80s pop music would not come away disappointed.

Assassins Creed Pee.
The Assassins Creed franchise has been of a consistently high quality, even at its lower points, it functioned well for what it set out to do. Assassins Creed 3 does none of that. The game is mediocre in almost every area; the story, gameplay, graphics, frame-rate, characters, controls, camera, name any part of an Assassins Creed game, nay, a game, and you'll find it better in any of the other entries.
The story:
The story in Assassins Creed 3 seems like a side-note in a larger story. Without spoiling anything, the ending leaves the player with no sense of closure, and belittles most of the entire game.
The lucky ancestor Miles is conveniently descended from this time is "Connor Kenway" He has a traditional Native American name, but I'm not even going to attempt to spell it. But yes, he is a native American man out to get revenge against the men who burned down his village. The main problem is that he's not a particularly interesting protagonist, his arc isn't very meaningful, and his personality (What little is there) doesn't really change throughout the game. He also sounds almost identical to Hayden Christiansen, which gets to be really distracting, but also fitting, given how Connor is kind of whiney for the duration of the game.
So after Darth Jumper's village is burned down, he sets out to find the men responsible in a Kill Bill-esque setup. Then he finds an elderly black man (I only bring up that he's black because the game is set in the 1770s, and he is a rich black man who just happens to be an assassin. Now, I'm no history buff, but I'm pretty sure African Americans weren't exactly on great terms with the people of the whiter persuasion back in those days. If he was just some mountain man living in secrecy then it might make more historical sense, but he's rich, lives in a mansion, and goes into town on a carriage at one point, getting no odd looks in the process. At one point they acknowledge that whole Slavery thing, but only in passing, and it has no impact on anything whatsoever.) So then Rich old man trains young Connor to become a master assassin, I don't want to say he molested our young hero, but he is never shown to have, or have had, a wife, or any interest in women. So take that as you will. Then after this is when the game actually starts, about four hours in you get to start running around and working towards the actual goal of the game. Yep, that's how slow this game starts. You spend several hours not even playing as Connor, in what turn out to be some of the better moments of the game. None of that would be a problem if it weren't for the fact that the base story is only about 11 hours long. Which is only an adequate length by the standards of today, but personally, spending $60 for an 11 hour game with some mediocre multiplayer, and boring side content seems like a bum deal to me.
So once the story gets going, you find Connor meeting people from throughout American history, taking part in historical battles and events, and just being randomly thrown into places he doesn't belong. Maybe this only noticeable because of how much more recent and well documented these events are compared to the events in AC2 and the like, but Connor just seems really out of place here. They put less of an effort into putting him into the background, as if the assassins were secretly helping out, and more to front of things. By the end of this game Connor should have statues of him everywhere, he would have been an American hero. Which just seems to go against the basic idea of this series. Also, this is a little nitpicky, but the white robes are pretty out of place here. In the 1st game you were surrounded monks who were all dressed similarly. In 2, everyone was wearing garish outfits, so it fit. But in 3, everyone is wearing military uniforms from that era, there is absolutely nobody for Connor to blend in with. There's no reason why anyone would see this white robed Native American standing next to a bunch of Red Coats and think they're remotely connected. The white robes feel forced, like they're only still part of these games because that's what people associate with Assassins Creed, instead of what's best for the series.
The Gameplay:
The way Assassins Creed 3 plays is almost identical to the other games, except not nearly as fun or functioning. The combat is almost too easy to the point where you see a group of about twenty Redcoats and feel no sense of being overwhelmed. The only times I found the combat to be difficult was when the game was actively working against me playing it. Be it Connor getting knocked down and then just not standing up, enemies glitching in and out of walls, and enemies hitting me when I was nowhere near them. The combat overall feels needlessly easy, and turns into nothing but a chore to have to wait through. It's essentially just you hitting two buttons while not moving towards your goal for about 15 seconds every few minutes. I opted to avoid combat as much as possible, since it wasn't worth the time.
But what I think might be the worst part of the way the game plays is the traversal. The way you get around the city is (Like the rest of the game) almost identical to the older games, only different in that it's way worse. Connor would seemingly at random just jump at walls, run up nothing, walk in the opposite direction that I was aiming him, and just overall moving like he's trying to walk the dinosaur, but doesn't know how. The only times I found the climbing to be anything but frustrating was when the game did it for me. Just holding the stick in a single direction will occasionally make Connor move seamlessly through the environment. Which only adds to my frustration because the game doesn't let me have any actual control over the cool movements.
Another part of the movement that is absolutely horrible is the larger areas. Now, these areas are actually the best parts of the game in terms of style and function, but they're far too large, and the only real reason you'd spend any time in there would be to run through them to get to an area that you can't fast travel to, which only happens a couple of times, but still takes way too long and reminds me of games like Oblivion or Skyrim, except you don't encounter caves or anything remotely interesting in the large world. They try to do you a solid by placing horses near you whenever you need to go over a large area. But!...No, no no no, those goddamn horses deserve their own section.
The horses are the worst thing about this already irritating game. Not only do they move at a snails pace, they can't really go off the main road, the road which doesn't necessarily take you to your destination. So if you try to ride a horse, you're going to need to go off road at some point. Which, the game lets you take them off the road, but they really shouldn't. The horses can't go over most rocks. Even small or flat rocks, horses are apparently the mortal enemies of rocks. They refuse to even associate with each other. Except on the random occasion where they do choose to work together, where the game breaks, and the horse can't move off of the rock, then ends up glitching out and being useless, forcing you to abandon the horse. The rocks are the worst of it, but trees are also pretty bad; they're worse than the rocks in a few ways, like how the rocks will randomly let you over them and destroy the minuscule usefulness of your horse, the trees will randomly not let you pass, and randomly disappear. The trees and rocks that don't let you through are somehow worse than the gamebreaking rocks, because these ones turn your horse with no indication as to why you can't pass them. And hey, you wanna hear something funny? They put rocks and trees fucking EVERYWHERE! Even on the main path! it's as though they designed these huge sprawling environments, then realized it takes way too long to traverse them, so their solution was to throw untested horses in there. I refuse to believe anyone play-tested these horses and thought "This meets the level of quality associated with the Assassins Creed name" Unbelievably horrible.
Back on Gameplay:
The other gameplay segment that needs to be complained about is when they make you take part in ship battles. These segments aren't good. That's all there is to it, they're not fun to play, they take too long, and (Like the rest of the game) are very poorly checkpointed, also, they just don't control very well. There's nothing horribly offensive about them, they're just tedious and boring. They don't have any sense of urgency or feeling of being a cool ship captain. The aiming on the cannons is poor, and the handling on the ships is sub-par. Luckily there are only three of these segments during the main story, and they only last a few minutes each, but they just don't belong in the game. They feel like they were from some other game and thrown in to fill some time and reuse some assets.
Now, you know those mission types from the other Assassins Creed games? Like, tailing, chasing, and going unnoticed while working your way through an area? Well those are all back, only made frustrating by the glitch-ridden controls, and the piss-poor checkpointing.
- The tailing missions are made frustrating by Connor jumping around like he ate the Spring-Spring fruit without my consent, which either lost the guy I was tailing, or threw me right next to him. Every time I had to play one of these missions was incredibly frustrating.
- The chases were made frustrating solely by the controls being as sloppy as they are, Connor not responding to my commands, and enemies hitting you when you're nowhere near them make these missions unnecessarily tedious. The worst of this is a chase near the end of the game, I'm not going to spoil it, but the game is very specific in how far you can get from him, and if you make a single mistake then you're too far from him. All of this is made worse when Connor gets hit from four feet away, then lies on the ground until the mission fails.
- But by far the worst of these mission-types are the sneaking missions. They're only slightly different from the tailing in that while tailing you can only not be noticed by one person, in the stealth missions you have to not get noticed by anyone. And according to Assassins Creed 3, the person getting stealth killed counts as someone seeing you. I was on a ship, had stealth killed everyone but one person, I check the mini-map, looked around, then stealth killed a guy...Desynchronized. Ridiculous.
But you know the main issue with all of these? If you mess up at any point, you have to start from the beginning of the mission. The checkpoints are almost non-existent. I found myself cursing at my screen under my breath every time the game messed up and forced me to play another segment again. I was only so upset by it because it wasn't that I messed up, I could deal with the game being difficult, but difficult isn't a word that should ever be associated with this game, if you fail then it's more than likely because the game glitched and cheated you.
The game also suffers from what I call "Uncharteds Disease" and that means that it has set-pieces shoe-horned in. Which, I'm fine with, I like set-pieces when they're done well, I think they can be cool. But Assassins Creed 3 doesn't do them well. They make it far too easy to fail, forcing you to start it over from the beginning. It robs you of any cinematic tone it might otherwise instill. The moment you have to play a cool part over again it's immediately an annoyance. It just devolves into memorizing what you're supposed to do instead of being overwhelmed by the set-piece. People often say they would like set-pieces to take less control away from the player, but if this is what they meant, then please no.
But, just because there are several really poorly done set-pieces, a few of them (When they work) are actually pretty awesome.
But those cool moments are few and far between, so you just end up playing frustrating set-pieces that barely work, and are underwhelming when compared to the standards set by pretty much any other game that uses set-pieces. I would say that I'm happy there are no QTEs, but whenever you're in the forests running to the next location, the animals who attack you will force you to take part in pointless button prompts, which don't kill you if you fail, but will take almost all of your life. You're also only given a very small period of time to press them.
The Graphics:
First off, while it isn't directly related to the graphics, it is related to the way the game looks. What I'm talking about is the frame-rate: It's awful, the textures aren't so great, and there aren't bustling crowds to warrant it. The frame-rate remains consistently low throughout the game, but is made way worse whenever you trigger the guards to chase you.
Now, the textures are okay, they have some good leather tech here, but faces looks awful, towns look bland and washed-out, and character animations are extremely stale and cheap looking.
Hey! You wanna know a fun fact about Olde Time America? It looks largely identical to ancient Italy! Who knew?! Seriously though, the two cities you're in are a mess of reused assets and recycled character models. It often looks like you're playing AC2, but dim with bad controls.
Overall, this game looks dated, it's on five year-old hardware, and it shows. But I know, graphics don't make the game, if the game is fun then the graphics don't matter. But this game isn't fun!
Final Summary:
When looking at Assassins Creed 3, I just feel disappointed. I see what could have been. The story could have been something special, but fell to several poor decisions. The gameplay is there, it just doesn't work very well. The frame-rate makes the other parts worse. But this game had so much potential, it makes me sad that I don't like it. It's such a great concept, a revolutionary war action adventure game! Who would have thought that we'd get that? I love that we did, I just wish the game worked more consistentlyz.
But you know what, even if the game did function well, it would still be a boring experience overall. There's nothing special here. It's short, boring and the side-content is pointless/boring. Don't buy Assassins Creed 3. Just go get it from Redbox or something.

Visit Scorecard.org to find out what's in the environment for your county.
In the absence of specific policies to limit greenhouse gas emissions, the world's energy use is expected to increase by 44 percent between 2006 and 2030, causing a 39 percent increase in global carbon dioxide emissions, according to U.S. Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
The EIA's "International Energy Outlook 2009," released last week, finds that much of the increase in carbon dioxide emissions will occur in developing nations, especially in Asia. The EIA reference case projects oil prices climbing to $130 per barrel by 2030, causing biofuels to become increasingly competitive, but also opening the door to less environmentally friendly options, such as oil sands, extra-heavy oil, and facilities to convert coal and natural gas into liquid fuels.
On the bright side, the EIA report expects renewable energy to be the fastest-growing source of electricity over the next 21 years, with an average renewable power growth of 2.9 percent per year. Most of that growth will come from wind power and hydropower, according to the EIA. But with global electricity demand growing steadily, renewable power is only projected to increase its share of the world's electricity market from 19 percent in 2006 to 21 percent in 2030. Over the same time period, the EIA expects coal power to increase its global share from 41 percent to 43 percent.

Tony Anthony (born as Andonis Andreou Athanasiou on 30 July 1971)[1][2][3][4] is a British Christian evangelist. He became prominent following the 2004 publication of his autobiography, Taming The Tiger, in which he claimed to have been a violent criminal before converting to Christianity. The book was well received by the Christian community, and Anthony began an international ministry as an evangelist.[5] However, an independent investigation in 2013 concluded that large sections of the book are false.[1][5][6]
Tony Anthony claimed to have been born in London of an Italian father and a Chinese mother, raised in Canton, China by his grandparents, and trained in kung fu by his grandfather.[7][8] He further claimed that he won three Kung Fu world championships after returning to London, before working as a bodyguard and turning to violence and crime, including murder, after his fiancee died in a car accident.[7][8]
He recounted that in 1989 he was arrested for burglary in Cyprus and was sentenced to three years imprisonment in the Central Jail of Nicosia, where his Buddhist upbringing did not give him much strength to endure the harsh conditions.[9] Over six months, he was visited every week by an Irish missionary, Michael Wright, and converted to Christianity.[10] They developed a friendship which continued after Anthony's release.[11]
He was sentenced again in 2001 to 15 months in prison in the United Kingdom for perverting the course of justice and other charges.[12] By his own version of events, his car had hit a cyclist at night, killing her, but he had not stayed at the scene and later denied it to police.[13] The person killed was Elizabeth Bracewell, sister of footballer Paul Bracewell, and she had been riding a motorcycle.[12][14] Anthony's wife, Sara, received a sentence of 120 hours of community service for her role in the cover-up.[14] When Anthony was jailed (as when he married) he used a false date of birth.[15]
Anthony set up Avanti Ministries in 2003 to support his evangelistic work (avanti is the Italian for 'go'). The organisation received charitable status on 3 June 2004.[7][16]
In 2004, Authentic Media (then part of Christian publishers Send the Light and currently owned by the Australian company Koorong) published Anthony's autobiography, Taming The Tiger.[17] The book won the 2005 Christian Booksellers Convention award, was translated into 25 languages, and 1.5 million copies were distributed.[5] Taming The Tiger brought Anthony to the attention of Christians worldwide, who were enthralled by the conversion of such a violent criminal.[5] He travelled internationally to tell his story; video interviews were broadcast in Canada on 100 Huntley Street in 2005[9] and 2011,[18] and in Holland by Evangelische Omroep.[19][20] Anthony was also the keynote speaker at the Global Day of Prayer event in London in 2010.[5] He was a member of Leigh Road Baptist Church.[21][22]
Concerns began to be expressed about Anthony's claims to have been a Kung Fu champion and violent enforcer. Christian journalist Gavin Drake writes:
Questions were asked about the authenticity of Taming the Tiger ever since it was first published in 2004. Critics were quick to point out that it reads like a work of fiction...[1][2]
Users of a martial arts website also began to doubt Anthony's story, starting in 2007.[23]
Mike Hancock is credited with initiating the events that finally exposed Anthony. Hancock was appointed as a director of Avanti Ministries in December 2010, but received evasive answers when he asked for proof of Anthony's claims. Having failed to convince the other directors of the need to verify Anthony's story, he resigned in January 2012. Hancock then joined with another former director of Avanti Ministries, Geoff Elliott, who had similar concerns, Anglican church leader Carl Chambers, and prison chaplain David Buick, and together they sought to uncover the truth about Anthony.[1][2][24] Chambers created a website documenting his research into Anthony's claims.[3] Additional members of the group were Tony Pancaldi, Aaron Peterson and Jon Mason. Collectively, they became known as the Research Group.
In October 2012, the Research Group presented a detailed complaint to the Evangelical Alliance, an umbrella organisation of which Avanti Ministries was a member.[6][25] Following discussions with the Alliance, Avanti Ministries agreed to set up an independent investigation conducted by a panel comprising three senior members of the Evangelical Alliance council. A joint press release issued by Avanti Ministries and the Evangelical Alliance on 12 July 2013 advised:
The panel produced its report on 26 June 2013 and concluded, based on the evidence submitted to it, that large sections of the book Taming the Tiger, and associated materials, which claim to tell the true story of Tony Anthony's life, do not do so.[6][26]
Avanti Ministries have refused to release the panel's report, citing confidentiality, but Gavin Drake has indicated that the Research Group challenged virtually all of Anthony's claims regarding his life prior to becoming a Christian.[1][2] A comment by Steve Clifford, General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, confirmed that the information available online comprises most of the issues raised in the original complaint.[27]
Specific aspects of Anthony's story that have been disputed include his birth in the early 1960s to an Italian father, his raising in China, his training in Kung Fu and winning of three world championships, and his role as a bodyguard and enforcer for international gangsters and diplomats. Drake indicated that Tony Anthony has confirmed that his real name is Andonis Andreou Athanasiou and he was born on 30 July 1971, which would make him too young to have participated in the events described in his book.[1][2][3][4]
On 16 July 2013, the Avanti Ministries board made public their decision to close down the organisation.[27][29] Authentic Media, Anthony's publisher, also announced that they were withdrawing his materials from sale.[30]
In a statement published on his personal website, Anthony accepted that there were some errors in Taming the Tiger relating to his childhood, and claimed he was unaware of these details when the book was written. Anthony maintained that the substance of the book is true, but did not respond to the more significant allegations.[31] The statement was reported by the Christian Today website.[32]
On 30 August 2013, John Langlois OBE, the chair of the inquiry panel, released a strongly-worded letter expressing his concerns at the lack of transparency shown by Avanti Ministries.[33] He said that a statement from Avanti Ministries was "a deliberate deception" and explicitly accused Anthony of making false claims:
...I concluded that:
- Tony Anthony never went to China as a child as claimed,
- He was never involved in Kung Fu as claimed, and
- He was never involved in Close Protection as claimed.[33]
The inquiry's conclusion was reported in both secular and Christian media, with British national newspaper The Observer describing Anthony as a "serial fantasist".[5] Christianity printed a lengthy article about the investigation and its conclusions.[28] Other press coverage included Anthony's local newspaper the Southend Standard,[34] Reform magazine,[35] and French magazine Marianne.[36]
Following Avanti Ministries' refusal to release the report, and Anthony's trivialisation of the allegations, the Evangelical Alliance removed Avanti Ministries from membership on 19 September 2013.[37]
On 21 October 2013, the New Zealand Herald reported that Anthony was making a six-week visit to New Zealand, and that the NZ Christian Network, a similar organisation to the Evangelical Alliance, had issued a warning because Anthony's biography had been found to be '99 per cent false'.[38] The national leader of the Elim Pentecostal Church in New Zealand was reported as saying that they are suspending support for Anthony pending their own investigations.[39][40]
On 25 March 2014, British Christian website The Way published an article in support of Anthony. The article claimed that a subsequent investigation has uncovered evidence showing that Anthony is the victim of an injustice and called on the Evangelical Alliance and Christianity magazine to apologise for the allegations made against Anthony.[41]

9 Pros And Cons Of Dating A Pothead
By Denise Ngo
During college, I dated a self-proclaimed "former pothead." As someone who had never smoked anything, I initially found his old hobby a huge turnoff. Potheads were like Harold & Kumar, Bob Marley and Willie Nelson: fun, but not someone you could take seriously. Sex and Drugs Made Me a Man
After getting to know him, however, I realized that there are a lot drug habits worse than using marijuana recreationally, especially if it he'd already renounced his habit. The guy could have been into crack. He could have been a serial drunk driver. In the end, I stopped caring since there was a lot more to him than just his past with pot. Heck, I'd even date a casual pot user again...maybe. Here are a few pros and cons to consider when you can't decide if weed usage is a dealbreaker or not. Marijuana Use Dulls Sex For Men
Pro: You can learn from their taste in music and movies. Chances are, a pothead's iTunes folder will contain one of two genres of music: synthy Europop or a lot of reggaeton to facilitate the spacing out that accompanies smoking a joint. Meanwhile, his Netflix subscription may contain colorful, trippy films like The Wizard of Oz or 2001: A Space Odyssey, which are infinitely better under the influence of drugs. While exposure to pot may not be good for you, exposure to different music and movies will invariably deepen your pop culture palate. Sex, Drugs, and Emotional Intimacy?
Pro: They're low-stress. Isn't it annoying to date someone who doesn't know how to relax? If you prefer guys or gals who aren't preoccupied with planning every minute of a date or with checking their iPhones 24/7, a pot smoker may be the match for you.
Pro: Funny stories to tell. Bored? Ask him about the first time he got high, and watch him launch into an epic tale of misdeeds. If you've already heard that story, ask him whether he's ever gotten close to being busted (yes), whether he's ever sneaked someone a pot brownie (yes), or how she met her dealer.
